Orioles Claim Jack Reinheimer, Designate Austin Brice

By Jeff Todd | January 28, 2019 at 1:34pm CDT

The Orioles announced today that they have claimed infielder Jack Reinheimer off waivers from the Rangers. To create a 40-man roster opening, the O’s designated righty Austin Brice for assignment.

This move makes for a textbook example of 40-man musical chairs. Reinheimer was designated by the Texas club after previously pinging from the Mets to the Cubs and then on to the Rangers. Likewise, Brice was a recent waiver addition for the Baltimore organization.

Reinheimer, 26, has minimal experience at the game’s highest level. He has shown very little power in the minors but does have enough contact ability and plate discipline to carry a lifetime .344 on-base percentage. He has experience across the infield but has spent most of his time at shortstop.

As for Brice, who’s also 26, there’s a bit more of a major-league track record to go on. Unfortunately, he carries only a 5.68 ERA through 84 innings. He does, however, have a mid-nineties heater and 10.1% swinging-strike rate in the big leagues.

    Sad that the offseason is going so slow that this and the Bonifaco signing is the top two news items.

    O’s are the 3rd team to claim Reinheimer off waivers this offseason, What is the record for a single offseason? Does he get a hat or anything from the teams that he never even reports to?

    So Breyvic Valera does quite well in his brief time with the big club, but gets dumped to make room for a guy who apparently offers nothing and who is himself dumped for another guy who apparently offers nothing.
    I’m not saying that Valera is anything to write home about, but he sure seems to offer more than these guys.

    This team is gonna surprise so many this year. They will not be nearly as bad as everybody is joking about… it may still be the plan to get another high draft pick, but all part of an actual plan…
